> Take the Unc Test and find out how cooked your aura really is.
Okay, as i get older i run into more of these scenarios where the new lingo is mostly beyond me. However this is not a complaint, if anything i'm more confused at how i grew up hearing "it'll happen to you!!" doom and gloom over frustration of youth lingo, yet i revel in it.
I find it fun in the way that new languages are fun, minus most of the work. Usually the new phrases are just a new word or two, far from the effort of learning a real new language.
And as a bonus you can then use the new lingo and make the youth groan out of second hand embarrassment. It really is a joy that i don't get why my older folks from my youth didn't enjoy. Then again i have zero concern about getting older (beyond health decline of course), so maybe that's the root of it.
I use "Noted" as inside joke with a friend, we use messenger and the default emoji of the theme we use is a pencil, sometimes he sends me it by accident and one day I started replying "noted" when this happens, now he also does this.
Kind of doesn't work because lots of these are gen z/alpha. They feel relieved when plans get cancelled, they cancel things day of. The should have been a few youth tells in there to trip us up instead of any tick being an unc score.
bit out of date on some of these. y2kcore is back so polo and slim jeans are fashion foward atm look at prices on hedi slimanes on grailed & you get the picture

Regardless, i bet i'm Unc. Lets see.
edit: Unc Score: 30, Soft Unc
I'm about to turn 61. What is happening? (I guess that's a pretty unc question. Oh well.)
Mostly fine, but a few cracks are showing. Stay vigilant.
